Activation Screen (Serial Number)

[brucie1dog]

My computer was just repaired by the Apple Store. I tried to start X-Plane and these are the screens that appeared. So is this activation that is asking for the serial number for SkyMaxx? Where can I get the serial number? Drawing a blank!

Hiya,

If you're sure you've got a slot to spare

I would de-install it using the SMP installer, it will ask you to remove all etc

Once that's done, re run installer

I notice in the pics, the activation pic seems fine

Do you mean smp installs correct and then you get the popup for serial ?

Tony

ps : If you choose to redo the install, extract the zip/rar first, then use extracted parts for the install

Had a few probs and Cameron or Ben suggested unzip/rar first, and not to use the installer in a zipped state (hope that makes sense)

Hi Tony,

Just uninstalled and reinstalled. Still get the same screens. I don't think that's X-Plane asking for the serial number?

I may not be as technical as you are. I did an uninstall and then  did and un zip and a reinstall. I'll try out again.

I still get those screens after I do the uninstall and before I do the reinstall. I am wondering now if they are X-Plane Screens.

The x-plane serial is in 4 digit blocks, 6 blocks in all

Well it is for my online digi version

Have you got a clean vanilla x-plane saved anywhere ?

Edit : Should of said, going by the pics that's not a smp activation code input request anyways

If you have x-plane dvd version maybe your code input differs to mine

So if your code for x-plane isn't in blocks then try it, but looking at it the problem isn't smp activation

Sou you are thinking that is an X-Plane screen and not X-Aviation/Pilot screen? I have to be honest and say I am not even where I would get X_Plane Serial number from. I just went through the DVD s and the envelope it came and I don't see a serial number. I do have the X-Plane DVDs. I am trying to avoid reinstallation.

Yeah,

I messed up my smp installs from buying it in march lol

So i sure know that sceeny isn't a smp one

Is there anything recent you've added into the game ?

Not having the dvd version, do you only get so many installs ?

As being on the digi download version i'd guess i've downloaded the darn sim 20 times hehe

The only other way is kind of a repair in x-plane, alas, it basicly re-downloads all the scenery/global airports in my case, which equates to not much faster than a total full install in my case

I'll have a think while you reply

That box sure does look like it's to do with x-plane, had a good zoom in on them

If it was smp, as you get into the game main part eg in a plane, a box top left pops up, with your email addy and a pw slot

Unless you've added something needing a pw recent it only points to x-plane itself

You could try this, sometimes after a fresh x-plane install, i have to allow it access to the fw and obviously the net .............

So a popup windows conx box warning comes up, sometimes i alt/tab out, but unless something's running besides the game alt/tab does nothing, so i press windows key and R key

That will allow alt/tabbing to work

Load game up, when that box comes up, press windows key and r key to get the run box up, then see if a box is there asking for net access for the game

Longshot, all's i got at the moment

[Defiance_co]
